Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Analog of Asymmetric Perovskite Metamaterial in the THz Spectral Region

Abstract

The analogy of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in perovskite metamaterials is characterized by the numerical simulations in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The perovskite metamaterials consist of two cut wire resonators (CWRs) and a disk resonator (DR) on a polyimide substrate. The analysis revealed the characteristic dynamics of the electromagnetic field, the near-field couplings of CWRs and DR, and the EIT-like spectral features of perovskite metamaterials as functions of the asymmetry parameter and polarization direction. The strong coupling and destructive interference of bright and bright–dark transitions in perovskite metamaterials displayed EIT-like transparency at 653.5 GHz with a high Q-factor of approximately 1470, a sensitivity of 531 GHz/RIU and a figure of merit of around 780. In addition, perovskite metamaterials exhibited slow light with a group delay of about 106 ps and a group index of approximately 3100. These results may provide an important perspective for understanding the coupling mechanism and applications of perovskite materials in slow-light devices, THz sensors, and tunable switching in THz spectral region.
